For the last year I have been running crowd-sourced test
cycles for my company while testing Android and iOS native apps. I learned a
lot, met many good testers, and had the privilege of working with and test leading
a few unbelievably passionate and talented people. Leading testers in a remote model where you never meet your team in person is difficult, especially when you have to figure out their strengths and aspirations. Plus test management in this context is something I was never sure about
because of the overall responsibility and worrying about the end
result and gathered information on product quality. I keep thinking that what if the mission fails due to
misunderstanding and misinterpretation of the goals and objectives? What if the
team energy and dynamics will not form correctly?
